Learn How to Craft Stories through an Interactive Experience
Dear colleagues,
Have you ever used stories or cartoons in your classes? Have you ever created any stories or cartoons for teaching? Are you interested in learning more about how to create stories in your discipline? Then this is the right workshop for you.
I will share my stories based on analogies related to economics and statistics; however, we strongly encourage colleagues from other disciplines to join the session, as understanding this approach will help you create your own stories relevant to your disciplines through participation in interactive activities during the workshop.
What to expect from this workshop:
Could you imagine that the impact of consistently increasing the money supply under a fixed exchange regime could be easily taught to undergraduate and postgraduate students by incorporating a battery-powered boomerang?
Have you ever thought that the distance from a person’s belly button to the side of their waist could be illustrated to teach standard deviation?
Even more complicated topics, including the illustration of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and the 2007 financial crisis through fairy tales, will be introduced to you in this workshop.
You will gain an understanding of the power of stories to illustrate difficult topics easily and have a hands-on experience in creating your own stories.
If you would like to view my stories shortlisted for the 2024 QS Reimagine Education Awards in the Blended and Presence Learning category and learn more about how to create similar stories in your discipline, please reserve your place in our upcoming hybrid workshop by filling out the following MS Form:
